After the long winter, vaccine spring is finally arriving, but Fox News wants to keep America sick

[634-5789]

This isn’t a one-off incident. It’s a concerted campaign. As Media Matters reports, Sean Hannity has told his audience he “doubts” he will get vaccinated; Laura Ingraham has brought on Robert Kennedy Jr. to spread anti-vax lies; and Tucker Carlson’s monologue has been filled with claims that experts are “clearly lying” about vaccine safety and efficacy.

It is possible that, like Donald Trump, Republicans will quietly go in to get a vaccine. However, stories like that of Putnam County, Missouri, were a vaccine event saw 1,500 doses of vaccine go unused and 150 get thrown away in a county that voted 84% for Trump, are an indication that Republicans are genuinely saying “no” to a return to normality.

1. Given the blatant hypocrisy of those people,

I'm going to suggest that at least some of them have already gotten the vaccine and just aren't admitting it. Like Trump.

2. Give that vaccine to people who want it.

The rightwing herd needs thinned anyway. We should tell them that seatbelts infringe their rights, and that breathing diesel exhaust is really just aerosolized viagra.

3. Great ideas!

4. Preach it brother!

If you refuse to help yourself with basic precautions like wearing a mask and getting a vaccine when available, then I'm not going to cry at your funeral.

5. At some point, when people badly enough want to commit mass suicide...

...it becomes impossible to stop them.
